It's like the AFC, so many 327 00:13:44,948 --> 00:13:46,868 Speaker 12: teams could have won games and just put you guys 328 00:13:46,868 --> 00:13:48,348 Speaker 12: in it and everyone's just losing games. 329 00:13:48,388 --> 00:13:50,588 Speaker 8: It's almost like they're keeping the door open for you guys. 330 00:13:50,828 --> 00:13:55,228 Speaker 12: And now you have this stretch Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers, Patriots, Dolphins. 331 00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:55,868 Speaker 8: It's doable. 332 00:13:56,348 --> 00:13:58,228 Speaker 12: What is the message coming out of the by and 333 00:13:58,268 --> 00:13:59,868 Speaker 12: as you head to Arrowhead, a place that you've won 334 00:13:59,948 --> 00:14:00,948 Speaker 12: two times. 335 00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:05,268 Speaker 6: Well, the message coming out is obviously killer, be killed, 336 00:14:05,388 --> 00:14:08,588 Speaker 6: But kind of just stand on business. We understand that 337 00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:11,428 Speaker 6: we have a job and we were put here to 338 00:14:11,628 --> 00:14:14,628 Speaker 6: and do a job, and we're not losers. This organization 339 00:14:15,308 --> 00:14:19,508 Speaker 6: has turned into something different over the previous years, and 340 00:14:19,628 --> 00:14:23,348 Speaker 6: UH and McDermott and the and the crew have us 341 00:14:23,508 --> 00:14:26,788 Speaker 6: on that direction. We understand that we put that we 342 00:14:26,828 --> 00:14:29,868 Speaker 6: put ourselves in a position that you know, it's a 343 00:14:29,908 --> 00:14:33,108 Speaker 6: little tougher and it's hard to win games. But if 344 00:14:33,108 --> 00:14:35,308 Speaker 6: we just play the style of ball that we know 345 00:14:35,388 --> 00:14:38,028 Speaker 6: how to, if we allow Josh to be the person 346 00:14:38,068 --> 00:14:41,228 Speaker 6: that he's supposed to, if we protect and get those 347 00:14:41,268 --> 00:14:44,908 Speaker 6: guys that need that ball, that ball, then we're going 348 00:14:44,988 --> 00:14:47,588 Speaker 6: to be okay. And uh, we have to put one 349 00:14:47,628 --> 00:14:50,388 Speaker 6: foot in front of another and not look at it 350 00:14:50,428 --> 00:14:52,548 Speaker 6: as a five week run and look at it as 351 00:14:52,868 --> 00:14:53,468 Speaker 6: a day. 352 00:14:53,388 --> 00:14:57,708 Speaker 11: Run or or or a weekly run, a single individual battle. 353 00:14:57,868 --> 00:15:01,908 Speaker 6: It's easier to win in the current situation than plan 354 00:15:02,108 --> 00:15:04,748 Speaker 6: for ten weeks down. You know, like we have to 355 00:15:04,748 --> 00:15:06,228 Speaker 6: do it now, and we have to do it one 356 00:15:06,308 --> 00:15:09,668 Speaker 6: day at a time by mastering our individual processes. Because 357 00:15:09,668 --> 00:15:12,508 Speaker 6: everyone has their own process, whether it's the hot tubcode, 358 00:15:12,508 --> 00:15:15,188 Speaker 6: tub sauna, whatever that might be. We have to master 359 00:15:15,548 --> 00:15:19,468 Speaker 6: our individual processes, which is our individual games, which helps 360 00:15:19,548 --> 00:15:22,668 Speaker 6: us win those weekly and of the week games. 361 00:15:22,468 --> 00:15:24,468 Speaker 10: No doubt about it.
